sudo plus bash-completion "bash: compopt: -o: option requires an argument" error

Do you use bash-completion and sudo? If yes, chances are you are getting an infinite loop of errors all of a sudden, like this:

 $ sudo vim /etc
 bash: compopt: complete: invalid option name
 bash: compopt: -o: option requires an argument
 compopt: usage: compopt [-o|+o option] [-DE] [name ...]
 bash: compopt: -o: option requires an argument
 compopt: usage: compopt [-o|+o option] [-DE] [name ...]
 bash: compopt: -o: option requires an argument
 compopt: usage: compopt [-o|+o option] [-DE] [name ...]
 bash: compopt: -o: option requires an argument
 ....
 ^C

Apparently, the fix is:

 $ complete -cf sudo

You probably want to add it to your ~/.bashrc to forget about this nightmare:

 $ echo "complete -cf sudo" >> ~/.bashrc
